Supari Studios ‘Doppelgangers' only Indian web series to win at The Webby awards

Supari Studios documentary series ‘Doppelgangers’ is the winner of The Webby People's Voice Award in Film & Video: Sports (Branded) at the 22^nd Annual Webby Awards while competing with a crusade of other video series. Supari is the only Indian agency to win this prestigious award this year.

The video was first selected after a 2,000-bench jury selected the best out of millions of videos and then put up for a global people’s choice voting.

‘Doppelgangers’ is a documentary series for Red Bull directed by Akshat Gupt. The series explores the parallels that exist between famous international disciplines and ancient Indian art forms. As part of the series, international experts from the fields of motorcycle stunt riding, B-Boying and bouldering, visit the worlds of ancient Indian art forms that align with their expertise. The international performers meet their counterparts in a first-time introduction to their doppelgangers. Through the course of the series, viewers not only witnessed certain similarities and understood the complexities and uniqueness of each sport but also learnt the sacrifices and passions of the athletes themselves.
